Character Wins in the End.

"Character is everything" said an
American statesman, when dying, and
glancing back over an eventful life.
''He that overcometh shall inherit all
things" it is an eternal law.
"A paper passing under our eye
brings all illustration of the truth
before us in a pleasing manner.
"Shine. sir?"
And a bright, manipulating lad Of
nine summers stepped up to a gentle
man in the Grand Central Depot, New
York, and casting his large brown eyes
up into his face, asked, "Shlne, sir?"
Il want my shoes polished, said the
gentleman.
'Then, 1 would be glad to shine
them, SIR" replied the boy.
"Have l time to catch the Balti-
more and Ohio train?"
"No time to lose, sir. l can give
you a good Job before it pulls out"
Certain of it?'

And in a pair OF seconds the boot
black was down on his knees, and
placing his box in operation was at
work.
"Don't let me get left," said the GEN
tleman.
II won't, sir" replied the boy, as
he piled both brushes with rapidity. !
"What's your name?"
paul Fay"
"Is your father living?'
"No, sir, he is dead-no one but
mother, l and the children. The
train is going SIR" .
The gentleman reached his hand in
his pocket, and drawing out a silver
dollar handed it to the boy, who pull
led out a lot OF change, and began to
count out the correct amount. The
gentleman moved off toward the train
fearing, he woul get left, and before the
little fellow could get to him the train
pulled out.
Two years later the same gentle
! man was called to New York on bust
ness. He had forgotten the little
bootblack and his forty-tive cents
change.
As he wandered up the street the
second day after his arrival. he was
approached by a lad who said:
"Were you ever here before?'

"When?" the boy asked.
"About two years ago."

gentleman.
The letter-written in Atlanta, Ca,
relates the above incident with its
pleasant sequel, mentions the recent
death OF Mr., one of the most up.
right and honored citizens of that
city. He was the boy who many
years ago blacked the New York gen
tlemen's boots at the "Grand Cen
tral'-and returned the "chanye."
The fact that the New York gentle
man was so pleased with little Paul
that he adopted him and educated
him, only adds Il circumstance to the

Is frequently the exclamation Of one lady
to another. The fact is not pleasant
one to have mentioned, but still the act
may be a kindly one, for it sets the one
addressed to thinking, apprises her OF the
TACT that she is not in good health, and
leads her to seek reason therefor. Pal.
Tor is almost always attendant upon the

The Last of q Remarkable Family.

There has just died at the Visi-
tation Convent in st. Louis the last
member of most remarkable fam
ily, whose name is famous in the
annals of the Church in America
Sister Mary Josephine Barber. Her
grandfather and father were both
originally Episcopalian ministers
and were converted to CathOlicy,
the latter becoming a Jesuit. His
son, Sister Mary Josephine's broth
er, also joined the order, while his
wife became a Visitation nun, un-
der the name of Sister Mary Au-
gustine. Their five daughters moved
by like spirit of devotedness, all
became members Of religious or
ders four of them joined the Ur-
sulines and died in Canadian con-
vents; while Sister Josephine, the
last surviving member of the fam
ily, whose death We have now to
chronicle, became a Visitandine.
Born in 1917 she was educated in
the convent at Washington, ID. c.,
made her novitiate in Kaskaski,
ILL.,, and was sent in 1914 with her
mother to St. Louis, where they
remained together four years, after
the expiration of which time Sister
Mary Augustine was sent to Mobile.
Sister Mary Josephene remained to
the end of her life as a teacher in
the St. Louis Convent.

WAsnIMe1oM's CARRlAeE.
Philadelphia Press.

One of the most interesting OBJ
jects seen in the great civic process
sion was the carriage of Washing
ton. He had three vehicles-a post
chaise for travelling, a family coach
and a "chariot for state purposes.
They were all cream-colOred, with
three figures on the panels. The
servants liveries were white, trim
med with scarlet or orange. When
he rode out in state, with two men
on the box, the coachman holding
the reins Of four or six horses, with
several outriders galloping along,
the spectacle must have excited a
a good deal of attention. One may
imagine him proceeding in this way
from his house on Market street to
his second Inauguration as presi-
dent, at Sixth and Chestnut streets.
Washington's coach has been in
Philadelphia before. A long time
ago it was brought from New Or
leans and exhibited on Chestnut
street. Every one who wished to
sit where Washington sat paid 25
cents for the privilege. The car
riage, it is said, was presented to
Washington by Louis XVI. Others
have said it was brought out for
Governor Penn. Watson says that
the coach was destroyed in Louisi-
ana. Losing says in "Mount Yer
non and its Association ;" "Wash-
ington, soon after his arrival in
New York to assume the duties of
the presidency, imported a fine
coach from England, in which, dur
ing the close Of the time of his
residence there land while in Phil
adelphia), he often rode with his
family, attended by outriders.
Losing further says: "The body
and wheels were a cream-cOlOr with
gilt mouldings, and the former was
suspended upon heavy leather
straps, which rested upon iron
springs. Portions of the sides of
the upper part, as well as the front
and rear, were furnished with neat
green venitian blinds, and the re-
mainder was enclosed with black
leather curtains. The latter might
be raised SO as to make the coach
quite open in fine weather" This
coach, according to Losing, be,
came the property of Bishop Will
liam Meade of Virginia. The bish,
op writes that he had it taken to
pieces, which were sold for benev,
olent and religious objects. Obvi,
ously, this was not the coach ex,
hibited in Philadelphia. That was
still another carriage, which has
held together until the present day

centennial in 1876.
